The obesity epidemic problem!

Even when there´s too much information and there are so many different
weight loss programs, obesity and overweight are still a huge problem and it´s
just getting bigger so this means that we´re doing something wrong. Most of the
information we can find in the internet are lies and myth, experts share the
fastest way to lose weight without considering the negative impact with
everything we read we just end confused and overwhelmed, if we add to this how
processed foods create an addiction and how they control our brain, and
emotions it´s not a surprise that it gets really hard for us to get in shape.

The problem is that we´re taking the wrong approach to the obesity
problem, we´re focusing and treating the symptom which is obesity and
overweight this is why we can find so much information and debates about which
is the best diet to lose weight and it´s also why we can find so many different
weight loss programs, but none of them work long term.

Some industries start to create myths around obesity and different diets
start to come out like low fat diets blaming fat for the obesity epidemic, they
came out with the most common advice we all know “eat less – move
more” but the problem just kept growing.

It´s not about finding the best diet to lose weight, it´s not about
calories, it´s about macronutrients, it´s about health. If we focus on what
matters which is understanding how things work, we can get in amazing shape and
sustain it. We need to know what´s the job of each macronutrient and how our
body responds to them, we need to understand about hormones and how they are
triggered in a good or bad way by everything we do and don´t do.

Our lifestyle plays an important role and I believe that it´s the cause
of obesity, portion sizes are bigger so we eat a lot more and to make things
worse, this excess food comes from junk, processed and fast food which doesn´t
have nutrients, the lack of physical activity and spending most of our time
sitting in front of a computer or tv; we don´t give sleep the importance it
deserves, our levels of chronic stress are so high and we don´t know how to
react and deal with it, we are surround by negativity almost all day long.

Making some changes to our lifestyle can make a huge difference in the
obesity problem, if we focus on what matters which is developing healthy habits,
we will have amazing results. We all need to have free access to information,
and we all need to know the truth. There´s not a class about nutrition in schools
which I consider is a highly important topic, learning about nutrition, fitness
and health in general is what we need to do, if we focus on the root cause the
results are sustainable.

To focus on the root cause we only need to give nutrients to our body
through food, eating real, fresh, healthy foods and avoid unhealthy foods like
junk, processed and fast food; working out at least 30 minutes a day focusing
on resistance training, getting enough high quality sleep every night around 7
to 8 hours, reducing stress or knowing how to manage it to make it work for us
and getting the right mindset. Everything works together to make our results
sustainable in an effortless way.

From what I´ve seen it´s simple to prevent diseases and stay in shape
and it all comes down to lifestyle. I believe that many diseases can be
prevented and there’s no reason to suffer or see someone suffering or in pain,
but it all starts with us. We live in a time where we want instant results and
satisfaction and we´re so use to technology but is causing a lot of problems.
There are 2 steps we can take today to start changing our lives:

– be more active throughout the day.- find ways to do some physical
activity, if you work in an office, every hour get up and take a walk for a
couple of minutes, when you´re talking on the phone walk instead of being
sitting on the chair.
